flocks; {32:15} Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. {32:16} Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. {32:17} And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. {32:18} And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; {32:19} When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. {32:20} Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
{33:1} Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou [wast] not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; [and] when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. {33:2} O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. {33:3} At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. {33:4} And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. {33:5} The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. {33:6} And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure. {33:7} Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. {33:8} The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. {33:9} The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits. ]{33:10} Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. {33:11} Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you. {33:12} And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
{33:13} Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done; and, ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might. {33:14} The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? {33:15} He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; {33:16} He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure. {33:17} Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. {33:18} Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers? {33:19} Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand. {33:20} Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. {33:21} But there the glorious LORD [will be] unto us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. {33:22} For the LORD [is]
our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us. {33:23} Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. {33:24} And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
{34:1} Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. {34:2} For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. {34:3} Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. {34:4} And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree. {34:5} For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. {34:6} The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. {34:7} And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. {34:8} For [it is] the day of the LORD’S vengeance, [and] the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. {34:9} And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. {34:10} It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever. {34:11} But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness. {34:12} They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none [shall be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing. {34:13} And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, [and] a court for owls. {34:14} The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. {34:15} There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
{34:16} Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. {34:17} And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
{35:1} The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. {35:2} It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency of our God.
{35:3} Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. {35:4} Say to them [that are] of a fearful
